fretmeister Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) [u][size=6][b]WITHDRAWN[/b][/size][/u] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Selling my ultra rare Zon 'Michael Manring' Hyperbass.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]3 octave fretless, with d-tuners on all 4 strings. Bartolini pickup and 3 band EQ. Solid bridge. Maple top, mahogany back. Composite neck with phenowood (wood pressure impregnated with resin stuff) The build time on a new one of these is mental. If you can get Joe Zon to reply to your emails.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]The bass is in excellent condition and can be strung with piccolo strings for multi-tuning madness, or a good set of regular strings for 'normal' use. It also comes with the official fitted hardcase that is a $440 option (when Zon say 'option' they mean that if you don't want to buy the case you have to collect it in person at the factory because they won't ship it!!).[/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]As these are super rare (only 2 in the UK including this one I believe) I asked a couple of our favourite specialist high end bass retailers about the used value, and they both said £4250.00 so that's what I've set the "Price or Trade value" at.[/size][/font] That being said, I'm happy to listen to proposals! [s][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Needless to say, I'm not very keen on shipping this. So if you want it shipped then you organise and pay for the courier. You pick the insurance levels. The packing of the instrument will be photographed and filmed in nauseating detail to make sure it leaves my hands in perfect condition and so any shipping mishaps can be dealt with properly.[/size][/font][/s] Collection only. [b][color=#0000ff][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]The big price drop is because I need to raise funds for work on my house. So no trades now.[/size][/font][/color][/b] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]More photos will follow of every inch of it when I get a moment.[/size][/font] [font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3]Ask any questions you might have.[/size][/font] Edited November 29, 2013 by fretmeister
fretmeister Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 Now on ebay. Open to offers. I never get offended by low balls they just won't get accepted!
fretmeister Posted July 17, 2013 Author Posted July 17, 2013 I love it, but it's completely wasted on me. I ran out of talent before even considering more than 1 d-tuner!!
fretmeister Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Bump. I would consider part-x trades for cheaper basses with cash my way. Stuff I like includes a Zon Vinny / VB4; BSX Allegro EUB; Sadowsky Will Lee; Marleaux Betra 5; Yamaha Attitude 2 or 3. The only amp related item I would like to own is a Suhr Badger 30 head. Not many of them about anyway!
GremlinAndy Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Hi buddy. Good luck with the sale! Incredible intrument!
fretmeister Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Bump! No one brave enough for this awesome instrument then?
Bobby K Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Brave enough? Without doubt! [i]I just don't have "enough" to pay for it.... [/i] Gorgeous thing this
doki Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) what is the weight of this bass? Edited August 7, 2013 by doki
mcgraham Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Would love one of these, not quite sure how this hasn't sold in seconds flat, nor how it even dropped to page 2! Simply incredible basses, possibly the most 'formula one-like' bass ever devised by man!
monsterbassman Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 trade this http://www.shukerguitars.co.uk/sounds.html 3rd one down zebrano [sharedmedia=core:attachments:145629] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:145630]
fretmeister Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks for the offer, but I don't play 6 strings. Most of the time I don't even play 5. In 25 years playing I'e only found two 5 strings I like, and I still have them!
monsterbassman Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 no worries il stick with my fretless cheers [sharedmedia=core:attachments:145626]
fretmeister Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Need to raise some money for work on my house so £2999.00 Collection only.
ambient Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 It's a sign of the times that this is still available, and whaaaaaaaat a bargain too !
Dave_the_bass Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 I saw this bass in all of its beautiful glory last week. The photographs don't do it justice! Have a bump for a stunning bass at an astoundingly good price! (Thank god it has no frets or my wife would be having a serious sense of humour failure)
juliusmonk Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 I'm seriously tempted by this now. Lucky me I can't collect. Gorgeous.
